PERSONALITY TRAITS:

-Darian highly trusts his crewmates, depends on them to get things done and lays his trust in them; however, he does not trust others easily, and never gives them the benefit of doubt.

-Criticism, Generally, Darian tends to react to criticism with a laid-back attitude, not particularly concerned about the opinions of others. His initial response is usually humor or sarcasm, deflecting the criticism with a playful manner. However, if the criticism is constructive and comes from a place of respect, he might take the feedback more seriously and consider it. Overall, he values his own judgment and principles above others' opinions.

-good composure, he is able to keep it in check at most times and takes control; however, it might falter in some instances, like when he's boiling with rage and begins barking cruel and harsh orders; is rather outward about it.

-Mean Streak, unapologetically harsh when it comes to the royalty and defying them, he relishes in belittling those royals and anyone who follows them, taking perverse satisfaction in asserting dominance through verbal abuse;

-Guarded Vulnerability, prefers to keep it hidden; He doesn't openly display his emotions often, preferring to remain reserved and stoic even around his crewmates due to the rough lifestyle which has shaped him; loathes to show any weakness, Darian deflects genuine emotions with sarcasm to keep others at arm’s length.

-Affection,not excessively needy or clingy, being more independent in nature. However, when affection manages to breach his defenses, he becomes unexpectedly clingy and needy, demanding constant reassurance from his object of desire.

-Hate for royalty and order, Darian harbors a deep-seated disdain and distrust towards the kingdom, royalty, and the law. His years on the seas as a pirate, often at odds with the law and the oppressive rule of the kingdom, have shaped his perspective. He sees the kingdom and its ruling class as hypocritical, corrupt, and out of touch with reality. The laws imposed by the kingdom are seen as restrictive and unfair by him, as they mostly protect the interests of the wealthy elite rather than the common people.

-Unyielding stubbornness, like the bedrock of his crew, the burning rose, Darian remains steadfast in his decisions, rarely swayed once his mind is made up; therefore he is a great captain for his crew and they all look up to him.

-Feisty Temperament, quick to anger and always ready for a fight.

-Hard to Impress, few things truly wow this captain; earning his approval is akin to finding a diamond in an avalanche of coal; Darian doesn't let anyone into his crew easily, every person with him has worked hard to impress him and catch his attention.
